Technical AFTER the Game

[coach41]

All,

In my area (SF Bay Area - California), most of the veteran varsity officials definitely wear their work clothes/civies to the gym and change. However, the change areas available vary by gym.

If you are working at one of the local catholic schools, you will definitely get some good space/locker room to change.

However, if you're at one of the public schools (esp. in SF), some of the change areas will vary between a regular locker room or a coaches office. if you're really unlucky, you're stuck in a bathroom trying to change.

While I don't recall how the veterans dress when at some of the public schools, I wouldn't be surprised if they came in uniform. The main problems are: parking, schools are in bad neighborhoods, etc. Officials want to minimize what they are carrying and get in/out as quickly as possible.
